CHESANING -- In a battle of potent running attacks, turnovers ended up being the difference.

Swan Valley topped Chesaning, 48-34 Friday night in Chesaning, in a game that featured nearly 800 yards of rushing. With the win, Swan Valley went to 2-2 in the Tri-Valley Central and 3-2 overall, while Chesaning dropped to 0-4 in the league and 1-4 overall.

Chesaning's Deshaun Young ran for 363 yards, including 267 in the second half. Young's rushing total set a new single-game school record, topping Doug Forsyth's mark of 334. Forsyth, who graduated from Chesaning in 1982, is now the team doctor and father of Chesaning sophomore halfback Alex Forsyth.

The Vikings were led by Johnathon Grace's 215 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Kyle Halvin added 74 yards and a score for the Vikings, and also caught touchdown pass from Vikings quarterback Lucas Isom.

Grace now has more than 800 yards rushing through five games.

"He's been solid all year long," Swan Valley coach Ken Bourbina said. "And that's a good line in front of him."

Even with Young's rushing yards piling up, the Indians couldn't finish playing catch-up after the Vikings took an early lead.

Swan Valley went up by two scores early, on 55-yard interception return by Drew Wagner and a touchdown run by Grace set up by an opening-drive fumble. The Vikings had two touchdowns after running six offensive plays, thanks to two turnovers on the Indians' first two drives.

"The turnovers killed us," Chesaning coach Steve Tithof said. "We gave them two scores. And we lost by two scores."

Chesaning pulled to within two points midway through the third quarter, but Swan Valley scored the final score before halftime and the first three of the second half to pull away.

"I was pretty pleased with our efforts with the kids," Bourbina said. "They were blitzing a lot early on, and we just started coming off the ball and made the plays."

The ground game for both sides was defined by big plays. Young alone had six plays for more than 20 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown run, and runs of 53 and 44 yards.

Grace, meanwhile, had an 87-yard touchdown run of his own, one of five Swan Valley runs of 30 yards or more.

"We gave them a couple breaks there with a couple things, we made a couple of adjustments and shut them down pretty good," Bourbina said.

Swan Valley's third straight touchdown in the beginning of the fourth quarter put the Vikings up 41-12. Chesaning made things close in the end with three fourth-quarter touchdowns playing mostly against Swan Valley reserves, a point of contention after the game.

"All their extra scoring was with our thirds and fourths in," Bourbina said. "I said if that's the way they've got to score their points, sera, sera."
